ARR News

SA-based recycling specialist Adelaide Resource Recovery (ARR) is experiencing strong overseas demand after exporting more than 500 tonnes of waste plastic to China since late last year.
The pioneering company, which operates from Adelaide’s Wingfield Recycling Centre, is receiving regular inquiries from businesses in Hong Kong and China that are keen to buy SA’s waste plastic.
ARR is a South Australian company committed to the comprehensive recycling of construction and demolition materials into valuable resources.

SA recycling pioneer ARR has deployed a 68-tonne mobile concrete crusher to meet massive demand for ‘green’ building products from SA’s defence and transport infrastructure boom. The $2.2 million Nordberg Impact Crusher – Adelaide’s largest mobile crusher – will turn waste concrete, previously dumped as landfill, into “recycled rubble”, which is used for the foundations in major infrastructure projects.

SA is leading the nation in establishing a world-class recycling industry that can transform waste products into valuable economic products, reports ARR sales and marketing manager Hugh Hocking.

Investing in the Environmental Economy

Adelaide Resource Recovery (ARR) is actively investing in the environmental economy for South Australia.

ARR has spent millions of dollars and created dozens of jobs as part of its commitment to recycling Construction & Demolition waste into re-usable building materials. Not long ago, all this demolition waste went straight into rubbish dumps. Today, thanks to companies like ARR, this “waste” provides the raw materials for an economically efficient and environmentally friendly recycling sector.

ARR supports the State Government’s plan, through Zero Waste, to double SA’s recycling of construction and demolition waste by 2010. ARR accepts a wide range of Construction & Demolition (C&D) materials including:
